is it just me or does is feel like the holidays are a bit of a runaway train this year? wasn't summer, like, yesterday and it feels like christmas is tomorrow. where the heck did the year go and am i going to survive the rest of 2011? and when is chanukah? and where is the menorah? didn't we just move to portland 2 months ago?

the shop is chock full of pretty things. there are new necklaces, adorable wooly birds, rings, brooches and oodles more. i recently had a customer tell me that cookoorikoo items make the best gifts. i agree! and i'm offering free shipping all weekend to encourage you to give cookoorikoo this holiday seaseon! xo

shana watched her very first horror movie when she was 10 years old. it was american werewolf in london and her mom covered her eyes during the sex scenes.

she started surviving horror to provide people with helpful hints for surviving meetings with zombies, serial killers and oni. (also because her horror movie rants & ramblings scare the crafty readers of her other blog.)

she promises she will never go up the stairs instead of out the front door.
